Scientific paper

A three-dimensional particle trajectory tracing in empirical models of the geoelectric and geomagnetic fields is used to study the ionospheric contribution to magnetospheric plasma. Various ionospheric outflows are examined and results on ion transport are presented in terms of density, composition, and energy. Results are presented for two opposite magnetospheric configurations, ground state and storm phases. An estimate of the contribution of ionospheric O(+) to the hot plasma sheet is given. The simulation results are compared with observational data.
